Miami Beach: The World’s Sexiest City
Considered by many as the country’s most dynamic, fastest-growing and sexiest city, Miami is more popular than ever before. Yet, it is a city that doesn’t merely change but evolves, never rewriting the past, but adding to its illustrious heritage. And this is the real beauty of Miami.

I love Miami for the same reason I love the places I love most around the world… it’s the mix here, this big, messy, dysfunctional hell-broth of people from all over the world that make it so awesome and make it a place I want to keep coming back to.

Considered
by many as the country’s most dynamic,
fastest-growing and sexiest city, Miami is more popular than ever
before. Yet, it is a city that doesn’t merely change but evolves,
never rewriting the past, but adding to its illustrious heritage.
And this is the real beauty of Miami.
The chic Surf Club and the vibrant Faena Hotel didn’t replace
the emblematic Raleigh of the 40s nor the Ritz Carlton of the 50s.
Instead, these new additions complement the old. Classic eateries
such as Joe’s Stone Crab continue to serve their signature fare
while new establishments draw crowds with big-name chefs. The
city’s iconic art-deco architecture rubs shoulders with modern
structures such as the Herzog & de Meuron-designed Perez Art
Museum.
Year-round, Miami buzzes with art and culture – from The Bass
contemporary art museum to the street art of Wynwood Walls and,
each December, Art Basel Miami Beach, a fair that attracts more
than 80,000 visitors. Yachts and recreational boats line its
marinas, lively beaches offer front-row seats to a parade of
bronzed revellers, and bladers and bikers coast along its
beachfront promenades. As night falls, the city is governed by
pleasure.
Miami has become the hub for everything chic, fiery and
colourful.
